Yes, the same Stephen Powell BTWN reviewed on Podcast episode #299 (Link Here) as he struggled to heal a man with a “floater” in his eye during a healing service.

Powell claims that Polycarp the 1st century disciple of John the author of John & Revelation, spoke directly to him during his trip to heaven on Saturday night.

No I am not making this up. Stephen Powell is. (see video below)

Powell claims the all important message Polycarp gave him is :

“The benefits of Trumps administration will outweigh the damage it causes.”

Really. Of all the things that Polycarp could communicate to this false teacher. Yeah, face palm followed by heavy sigh.

Additionally (at the 4 min mark) Powell testifies of how an angel came to him this week after collecting an offering from a church. Powell claims the angel took the offering to heaven. I am not sure what the IRS will say about that.

Powell tells his viewers at the 9:25 mark that God is now setting up a “New Apostolic System” of ruling here in the west where “Apostles in the order of Paul and Peter” will pass judgements from the courtroom of heaven.

At the 16:00 min make Stephen Powell reveals what Polycarp’s divine message was.

If you live in Philadelphia you should be concerned.

If you live in Philadelphia you should be concerned because at the 41:30 mark of this video “Prophet Stephen” warns of a major earthquake that is coming. I sure wish he would tell us when. That shouldn’t be to difficult for him to find out as Jesus & Angels of all sorts visit him multiple times per week.

This outright fabrication from Powell is not new nor is it rare. On a daily basis he makes equal and greater outlandish claims of divine encounters and revelations.

Stephen Powell is why BTWN exists.

Stephen Powell is an example as to why BTWN exists today. BTWN started as a response to the thousands of people who profess Christ yet willingly or unwillingly lead may astray. Powell’s ministry is growing quickly. My desire is to expose the Powell’s foolishness and warn the church.

Apparently Stephen Powell and all the others in the NAR ignore the scriptures that forbid talking to the dead…

“Let no one be found among you who … practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before the LORD your God.” Deuteronomy 18:10-13

Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.’ Leviticus 19:31

“Men and women among you who act as mediums or psychics must be put to death by stoning. They are guilty of a capital offense.” Leviticus 20:27

I thing there is a huge difference between seeking the dead through the means in your above mentioned scriptures, and having visions/ visitations when you’re not seeking them out that are ordained by God.

Or else we would have to condemn Jesus Himself on the mount of transfiguration for “speaking to the dead” whom were Moses and Elijah.

And I think that the whole culture and people of that time were so much more spiritually minded that the Western church these days. Just look at Mary who was not schocked she saw the angel, but was shocked with what he told her. Or Jesus who was regularly ministered to by angels. Or the time when the apostals who were praying for Peter to be released from jail, told the servant girl who said that Peter was at the door: it is Peter’s angel.

We must view things these days through the whole lens of the Bible in their original Hebrew context (and not through our Western “context”). Jesus was and is the Jewish Messiah. He was and is a Jew and we will never be able to understand the Bible if we first don’t learn the context and culture it was written in and for.
